Note that the dinner pail was the analog of what we'd call the lunchbox today; dinner was, at one point, the mid-day meal.

What a terrible font on the pail. I zoomed in to read it, but still didn't realize that it said "graft" until I read your description/comment. I thought it said craft, which made no sense.
